2. Polygon (MATIC) – Ethereum’s Scaling Solution
With Ethereum gas fees still fluctuating, Polygon’s zkEVM technology offers Vietnamese traders:
- 97% cheaper transactions than mainnet
- Full EVM compatibility (critical for Vietnam’s DeFi ecosystem)

4. 2025’s Most Promising Altcoin: Avalanche (AVAX)
Here’s why Vietnamese institutions are adopting AVAX:
